Our own Mr. BookofLoob has been warning folks on twitter that the excitement level surrounding new Flame Corban Knight seems to be a little out of step with how important the player actually is in the grand scheme of things. And fair enough.

But I bite my thumb an that entirely common sense advice. We Flames fans have had precious little to celebrate in over the last 20 few years, so any good news is great news given how parched we are for such sweet nectar.

So in direct opposition to BoL's advice, many folks (well...mostly myself) are now showering Knight with effusive, entirely unreasonable superlatives on twitter. I figured we might as well extend the exercise to the site.

Corban Knight will play for the Flames under the standard entry level contract. He will charge nothing extra for his awesomeness. And when you see him in the 'Dome, you'll pay for the whole seat, but you'll only use the edge!

I want super competitive guys. Guys like Tom Brady. There are some of us who are poor losers. You know, when we play NHL '10 or any game, that if you lose, you throw your controller, you turn the power off so it doesn't get recorded, you demand a rematch right away.

Some guys say they hate to lose, where other guys really mean it. We are miserable losers. Unpleasant to be around, demand and expect to win and win decisively and relentlessly. You never let up, you win 14-0 if you can or 9-8 or 1-0. However you don't take undisciplined penalties either. But I'd rather try to reign that in rather than not have it.

I hope Knight is just a relentless super competitive guy and I hope Feaster brings in a bunch of guys like that. Controller tossers!
